A rocky but very beautiful path on the Teufelsmauer. With many beautiful views.

Spontaneous is always 👍. High on the ridge path of the Teufelsmauer, a lot to climb, you should be sure-footed. But great fun factor. Hike to the Hamburg Coat of Arms and easier descent. The weather was ideal, although rain was forecast.

Because of the stormy winds, we didn't go to the Brocken today. Plan B is the ridge path of the Teufelsmauer. Good for those who like to climb over roots and rocks. For me, it's a great thing.
